The number of victims from the Asian Earthquake and Tsunami disaster is rising every day [news.bbc.co.uk]. It is quite unfathomable the level of devastation.

I’ve seen a fair few films this year. So many, it was pretty hard to put together even a shorlist.

I’ve created the following list of films that make the top 10 -

Lost In Translation
The Station Agent
50 First Dates
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Troy
The Day After Tomorrow
The Incredibles
I, Robot
The Terminal
Bride & Prejudice

And four more that get an “honourable mention”

Kill Bill Vol 2
Shark Tale
Big Fish
Harry Potter

I find it very difficult to come up with a top five though, and especially a top one.

What films did you rate this year?

I really must make more updates.

I liked this film. It was entertaining and the effects were very impressive. Considering this was shot almost entirely in blue-screen, it was difficult in many places to tell where the animation replaced reality. The comic-book style of the graphics helped this along, I’m sure, but still, pretty good.

It has its amusing and its corny moments, and enough of a plot to see the film through to the end. To me, this film seems like a prime canditate for converstion to a video game, and, indeed, if you go to www.skycaptain.com [www.skycaptain.com] then there is a downloadable game there (though I’m surprised there is no full priced release version.)…

Worth a look, if only for the ooos and ahhs at the crunchy special effects.
